John Cena explains why he decided to change his post-retirement wardrobe on WWE television
While speaking to SI.com, John Cena explained why he decided to change his post-retirement wardrobe on WWE television. Here is what the former WWE Champion had to say…
“Those weren’t jorts in Brooklyn, and they weren’t jorts on NXT. I’m wearing cargo shorts. I’m not wearing any wristbands, I don’t have a towel and I don’t have any knee pads. So, when I said the jorts are retired, the f—-ing jorts are retired.”
“I don’t wanna confuse the consumer. If I show up in dress shoes in a suit with a pocket watch, hopefully the consumer isn’t gonna think one more match. John’s not really done. That didn’t work. They still chanted one more match. And I love wearing suits. Also, Cody Rhodes gets beat up in suits. So, the one thing I was trying to accomplish was really murky.”
“How do I feel most at home here? I love running to the ring. I love when the energy of the audience is there, and I can bounce around the ropes. If you look at WrestleMania, and those events that I show up in Tampa in a suit, I’m walking [very] carefully to the ring. The bottom of those shoes are slick, and I like a fitted suit, so I’m also worried about busting my pants.”
“I’m gonna bear the burden if people have the opinion [that I] went back on [my] word… but I changed my mind. I think the cargoes, the sneaks, the T-shirt, and the ball cap- that’s what I would wear to the event anyway, as a fan. So why don’t I wear that?”
